Also, check online for the full list of hockey pool team standings.
Top performers
Sidney Crosby broke out of a slow start, scoring two goals and adding an assist in Pittsburgh’s victory over Philadelphia on Saturday.
Florida captain Brian McCabe put together an impressive performance last week against Tampa Bay, tallying four assists in one night. Speaking of the Panthers, Florida netminder Tomas Vokoun may not get a ton of wins this season but he sure does make them count — both victories for Vokoun have come by way of a shutout.
Marian Hossa has been far and away Chicago’s best forward thus far this season. The 12-year veteran has put up nine points in six games for the Blackhawks.
Key injuries
The New York Rangers took a big hit this last week, losing both Marian Gaborik and Chris Drury to injury in the same game. Early reports have Gaborik missing 2-3 weeks with a separated left shoulder.
Columbus’ Jared Boll is sidelined indefinitely with back spasms and will likely miss another week before he returns for on ice action.
Player storylines
As reported last week, San Jose captain Joe Thornton recently finalized a contract extension with the Sharks that will keep him in California through the 2013-14 season.
Islanders star John Tavares returned from a minor concussion this past weekend, scoring an empty net goal in his first game back.
